mr. clean - yeah that was my point. i can't help but think people are just overestimating this kid's ability to beat a grown man in a fight...
(mostly grunching)
being a grown man, and even being bigger/stronger doesn't mean that much when you have a gigantic technique disadvantage.
also weight isn't that big a deal, when for most of us weight = fat. Bruce Lee weighed 160 pounds. I weight about 220 now
and that 60 pound edge would only have hurt me by slowing me down.
I mean, rephrase this question by "could you go 3 rounds with a flyweight (< 112 pounds) boxer". unless you are a trained boxer, you would be knocked out pretty quickly.
obv. this kid isn't a professional, but he's also bigger than a flyweight boxer, and more importantly he has all kinds of techniques that boxers don't train on.
anyway I have rudimentary wrestling skills from way back (even a little bit helps) but there is now way I could compete with somebody with trained technique, even if they are smaller than me, by a lot.
